Giulia Di Donna

Geu (Giulia Di Donna) is an illustrator born in 2000, based in the province of Naples, Italy. After graduating from a classical high school, she went on to study New Technologies of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, later earning a master’s degree in Fine Art Printmaking, with a focus on Illustration.

She regularly takes part in independent illustration and comic fairs, showcasing her self-published work at events ranging from underground gatherings to major conventions such as Napoli Comicon.

Her work explores the connection between emotion and imagery, with a particular fascination for animals and their potential as symbols and storytellers.

Crooked teeth, wide-open eyes, goofy expressions and wonderfully odd characters: Geu’s illustrations embrace everything that makes us different, strange and curious. Blending traditional brushes with digital pixels, she creates a world where being weird is something to celebrate.

Her mission? To give a voice to all the kids, teenagers and grown-ups who grew up being told they were “weird” — and remind them that there’s nothing wrong with that.
